What is the VPRF?

The Veterinary Policy Research Foundation was set up by Lord Trees in 2013 to provide a legal and financial vehicle which was transparent, subject to good governance and independent of Lord Trees’ finances, with the purpose of employing a veterinary intern. It appears to be a novel if not unique initiative, at least in the House of Lords. The VPRF is a not-for-profit company registered with Companies House and is funded entirely by donations.
